It’s better than no place becoming an ecotopia.

Of course, but which do you think would be the spark that ignites the rest?

You’re so right about Ms. Frizzle. She’d be the perfect teacher in a Solarpunk world.

Agreed about the frequent field trips. It’s more important to get out than people think, plus it helps people realize learning isn’t just for in the classroom.

Sure does. Agree wholeheartedly

Love what you’re doing dude. You’ve got all kinds of cool ideas. Keep up the good work!

A carrier pigeon seems outdated and unreliable. There are important things such as medication that would need to be reliably delivered to people.

Could you elaborate on what a point express is? A quick Google search didn’t get me any helpful english-language answers.

Okay so something that’s slowly dying in rural America is the presence of specialty stores and craftspeople. Before dollar general and Walmart killed most of it, there were separate/mom n’ pop bakeries, pharmacies, blacksmiths (we could modernize that concept with a technological repair person to fix broken or malfunctioning parts), and tractor/feed supplies. Some of these still exist in rural America obviously but they are declining. Bring back specialization and apprenticeship.

In the center of your village could be a decently sized community garden, with small greenhouses scattered throughout. It acts sort of like a central park or courtyard. Also, rooftop gardens!

Maybe some sort of outdoor community center?
